Cornish Mining - A Shadow Of It's Former Self
Cornish Mining - A Shadow Of It's Former Self

Shot taken for Saturday Self Challenge 31/08/2024 -- Shadows !
The challenge is shadows , and this is the shadow of an iconic engine house that would have been found on the many tin / copper mines dotted about in the various areas within Cornwall that are now UNESCO World Heritage Sites . So for my shot this is taken looking down from above on an engine house with the sun casting a shadow . Note that the wall nearest the bottom right corner is much thicker than the others - that is the Bob Wall , the wall that supports the fulcrum point of the Bob or Beam of the Beam Engine - hence the extra thickness to support the weight !
Now I hear you wondering if I have nipped down to Kernow this week and flown a drone over an engine house --- no chance ! This is my back door step and my new model engine house out in the sun !!

For the music track this week -----
Shadowplay !! A track by someone who Jimi Hendrix thought was a better guitarist than he was -- quote :-
Never one to hide his admiration, Hendrix spoke at length of his appreciation for Gallagher’s talents, most notably when he appeared on the long-running popular afternoon talk show, The Mike Douglas Show. Douglas asked Hendrix: “What’s it was like to be the best rock guitarist in the world?” and, pausing for a moment, Jimi then beautifully responded: “I don’t know, you’ll have to ask Rory Gallagher”. For that reason alone, he could easily be considered Jimi’s all-time favourite.
